Sometimes described as "sentimental conceptualism," Woodcock's new media installations integrate technical effects with intellectual and emotional content. Take me, I'm yours includes five discrete components that function as a thematic whole. By means of VHS video and DVD projections, plus consumer-level equipment and unassuming props, the exhibition engages sight and sound, memory, taste and touch. The cumulative effect may well be a tease, a pretense of availability orchestrated through cinematic devices, pop psychology, the occult, and themes of love and mortality.

Opening Talk
The artist presented a lecture illustrated by slides, film clips and audio on 2 March in Seton Auditorium C.
